John Wall Believes He 'Definitely' Deserves Max Contract

Mar 11, 2013 1:44 PM

John Wall has not lived up to the hype that came along with the expectations he was placed under after being the No. 1 pick in the 2010 Draft, but he will be eligible for a contract extension this offseason as he enters the final year of his rookie deal.

And in Wall's eyes, he is a max player and worth that contract from the Washington Wizards.

"I feel like I am. I do, definitely," Wall said.

Still, Wall has not started thinking about a possible extension.

"Look, I’m just enjoying D.C," Wall said. "This hasn’t been going the way we wanted it to, in terms of winning, but I think we are building something here."
